It is time again for Top Ten Tuesday! Since we had some free-reign this week, we have decided to go
Grad Student:
with Top Ten Boarding School Stories (also known as we are jealous we went to public schools
and not magical high schools), since September and back to school time is on the horizon. As
always, a big thanks to the *GREAT* bloggers at The Broke and the Bookish for hosting TTT.
1. Night School by C. J. Daugherty.
2. The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart. A classic boarding school shenanigan story.

I love books set in boarding schools! And Vampire Academy, one of my favorite series. If you haven't read it yet, you should try the Covenant series, it's great! ~Pam
ReplyDeleteI have NOT! I am looking into this series immediately.
DeleteBoarding school settings are very popular today! I love them, too, and you've mentioned some of my faves: The Shades of London series, Miss Peregrine's and, of course, HP.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
I loved Charlotte Sometimes, about a girl at a boarding school in England who finds herself periodically going back in time to 1918, where she's a girl everyone thinks is named Clare.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I've gone for schools this week as well. (Although all schools, not just boarding schools.) Great to see John Green in yours as well - Paper Towns is in mine.
ReplyDeleteCheck mine out here if you'd like to.
Harry Potter would have been on my school list too. Good picks!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
HOW DID I MISS THIS TTT??????? Also, I'm now, like every time I remember it, dying to reread The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks. One of my all time favorite books!
ReplyDeleteSo I feel like a total toolbag for not having read ANY of these books on your list, but I hear that Night School and The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks are wonderful. Miss Peregrine's has been on my to-reads list for quite some time but it's just one of those books that I always seem to forget about when I'm making new purchases.
